the problems of postscarcity are much more interesting to me than the problems of scarcity

if we are gonna completely honest nobody of sound mind can actually starve to death on the streets in the first world. the welfare system will save you far before thathttps://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1415771896717529088 …

People can and do. Mostly they die of organ failure as a secondary effect of starvation, so they aren't listed as dying of starvation.

will SNAP & Medicaid not come to save you?

Depends on the state. Often at minimum a mailing address is required, and you can't get a PO Box without a regular address. Shelter addresses work, but a tiny fraction of homeless live in shelters. Food banks generally only give cookable food also, not ready to eat meals.
